The large footprint of corba,etc is why nasa is developing a framework and architecture (STRS)for spacecraft radios that is more aligned with smaller resources and lower power,etc.; for instance, running on a 24MHz cacheless Sparc or a Sparc core instantiated in a fpga.

Fully agreed. So, if it is a requirement to be standards-conforming and interoperable I'd give CORBA a try - if you have the computing power (I am currently looking for something alike that runs on an AVR µController ...) I have been playing with MICO (see http:// www.mico.org ). Looks promising (actively maintained, stable, secure) and is lightweight enough for me.
